A guy is admitted to hospital with a bad case of gangrene.

The surgeons conclude the only way to save him is to amputate both feet. One of them is 'volunteered' to break the news to him.

"I have some good news and some bad news"

"Oh well, give me the bad news first"

"We are going to have to amputate both your feet"

"Geez, whats the good news?"

"The guy in the bed opposite wants to buy your slippers"
